Software Engineering is an approach to developing software that attempts to treat it as a formal process more like traditional engineering than the craft that many programmers believe it is. Designing software is an exercise in managing complexity. The complexity exits within the software design itself, within the software organization of the company, and within the industry as a whole. In many ways, software bears more resemblance to complex social or organic systems than to hardware. All of this makes software design a difficult and error prone process. Software engineering is concerned with the development and evolution of large and complex software-intensive systems. It covers theories, methods and tools for the specification, architecture, design, testing, and maintenance of software systems. Todays software systems are significantly large, complex and critical, that only through the use of automated approaches can such systems be developed and evolve in an economic and timely manner. There have been many good ideas from computer science but they lack to meet with understanding among businessmen and scientists hardly care about the real-world needs and problems of the businessmen.
Innovation in biological sciences and the development of human stem cells have revolutionized todays medical treatment. Research on stem cell repair offers new hope and possibility of a renewable source of replacement cells and tissues to treat a myriad of diseases and conditions including Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, burns, heart disease, diabetes, and arthritis. Thus, stem cells research presents new and exciting opportunities for future medical treatments. The SCR conference aims to serve as a catalyst to inspire stem cell research around the world by providing an informative session for academics, researchers and experienced professionals to share their research findings and leading discoveries on the potential of such new treatment as well as the risks involved. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Modeling stem cells, Population dynamics of human ES cells: self renewal, adaptation and cancer, Human embryonic stem cells and human genetic disorders, Induced pluripotent stem cells and research into aging, Extrinsic Factors Regulating Stem, Intrinsic Factors Regulating Stem Cell Behaviour, Proliferation and Differentiation of Adult Stem, Tumor Stem Cells, Pluripotency and Stem Cell Plasticity, Regenerative Strategies, Asymmetric cell division, Using iPS cells for studying neurodegeneration, Nuclear reprogramming, Stem cell-niche interactions.
